Meet The Team

Carlos M. Robles

Owner / Purchasing Agent / Scheduler / Podcast Host

SEASON 1: Beginnings

Little is known of this seeming happy game store owner, as he has surrounded himself with individuals who are constantly keeping him from any extended contact with the public. Any attempts to discover his true nature up to this time have meet with failure. As the Empire known as IMMORTALS INC. continues to grow he has taken and almost ‘hermit’ like attitude towards everything.

SEASON 2: The Coup

Josh, his step-son, recently made an attempt to overthrow Carlos and as a result Josh is no longer Master of Coin and some of his allies have been ‘dealt’ with. Carlos moves to protect himself from threats from within and strengthen new and old allies.

SEASON 3: The Rise

After the coup attempt Carlos sees the need to allow everyone to grow and carve out a piece of the Empire to make their own. He sees that constant in-fighting has caused him to grow old and bring about sleepless nights. He has seen the wisdom in ruling from a place a safety and to protect and grow the borders of the Empire while those with youth and energy charge forward. He, of course, will keep The Hound Cyrus close and hungry….

Carlos is part-owner of the store and is currently in charge of purchasing inventory and making sure all the events at the store are scheduled.

Josh Stollings

Owner / Store Manager / Web Designer / Live Stream Producer

SEASON 1: Beginnings

Being part man/part machine, Josh has been able to interface with any mechanical device since birth and he has used this ability to propel himself (both physically and financially) to a position of relative comfort and importance within the Empire. While being helpful and intelligent, he has been able to blend into any situation and become part of any organization or clan. Using his stealth, Josh gained control of half of the Empire and has even secured control of the coffers.

Using sound tactic he has brought several allies into positions around him that, he believes, only secure his hold on the growing Empire. With the placement of Marten, Taylor and Nancy in spots that allow him control of the growth he appears to have already made a move to control all that he sees.

SEASON 2: The Coup

In this attempt to take over Josh lost Taylor and Cyrus as a result of Carlos’ wrath. Josh was reluctantly removed from control of the Coin and must rebuild his army in secrecy. Josh will have a hard way to go as the most recent edition, Chris, seems to follow Diana and Carlos. Josh will certainly have to sweeten the pot for Chris in order for his loyalty to be turned.

SEASON 3: The Rise

Josh has proven himself a mighty warrior that needs to only work on his strategy. He maintains many secrets and builds even more clandestine allies, waiting for the opportunity to rule without any chance of failure. Unable to turn Chris to his side, Josh turned to the blade and allowed his abilities with a thin blade to carve out more space for his budding plans….

Josh is part-owner of the store and currently manages the sales floor, our web page and internet presence, live streams, and our financial officer.

Diana Robles

Administrative Manager / Sales Associate

SEASON 1: Beginnings

As the IMMORTALS INC. Queen, Diana has been the constant support that keeps her husband Carlos sane and stable. Having found Carlos at his lowest point, she nurtured him forward and has found a special place at his right hand in the Empire. Diana’s free spirit and carefree attitude sometimes clashes with rigid standards of the IMMORTALS INC. Empire, but her beliefs keep it balanced, happy and always on guard. Without Diana’s leadership and logistical skills, all our expansion by the IMMORTALS INC. Empire would have turned into a disaster.

CARLOS was so impressed by her abilities that he sealed her place as permanent part of the Empire by pronouncing her Queen of the ‘HIGH TIMES’, a title that she wears proudly. She knows her son (JOSH) hungers for more, but reminds him that patience is a virtue. She keeps an eye on our Empire, letting all who reside in it know that the Empire can only run smoothly if it runs like a family.

SEASON 2: The Coup

After seeing the what happened to Marten and Taylor, Diana protects not only Josh and Nancy but has been trying to take Chris under her wing and protect and nurture him. Unknown to Carlos she hopes to make Chris a strong asset for Josh…at least she hopes.

SEASON 3: The Rise

Diana, using her feminine guile, has slipped in an old friend, Shliegh, into The Empire to maintain a strong supply chain. Carlos was very reluctant as she appeared out of nowhere and he knew nothing of this new face. This, along with her recent increased activity in the Empire, has caused a strong inner growth of our forces and has brought new allies into the fold. Carlos, being extremely happy with her hidden abilities, has doubled up protection of her. She may one day rule in his place…

Diana is our Administrative Office, keeping all our records, paperwork, overstock and prize support in proper order. Diana is also in charge of all special events and parties held at Immortals Inc.

Nancy Salvatore

Assistant to the Manager / Sales Associate

SEASON 1: Beginnings

Loyal to a fault to Josh, Nancy has proved to be an able bodied assistant to the Empire. Never once has she put a blemish on the face of IMMORTALS INC and she would do anything for any member of the family. Even though she is kind hearted and loving, more than one person has suffered at the wraith that Nancy can bring down upon an offensive being. Rumors are whispered throughout the Empire that Nancy is some sort of Witch or Elemental sent to guard Josh as he attempts to achieve some unknown purpose.

Nancy goes to great pains to make sure all of the IMMORTALS INC. family is cared for and never asks for anything in return. This unquestionable loyalty to Josh makes Carlos wonder her true intentions, but for now it seems he is content with her positions and simply watches and waits.

SEASON 2: The Coup

Nancy was a true neutral during the in-fighting and was left alone from both sides. Both Josh and Carlos know that she cares for The Hound and makes sure he stays health so that he can continue to inspire fear in all those around him.

SEASON 3: The Rise

It is best to keep on eye on this young lady…she is learning the supplies and goods better than anyone would have thought. She will be a powerful ally if she ever chooses a side.

Nancy is assistant to the store manager and also doubles as a Sales Associate.

Shleigh Braun

Online Sales and Shipping Specialist / Sales Associate

SEASON 3: The Rise

Diana and Josh were able to silently slip this young lady into the daily workings of the stronghold. She is an old friend of both of them from a land and a time long ago. Carlos at first demanded that she be cast out as a witch, but was soon calmed down by Diana. Diana assured him that Shleigh was of good lineage and would be a great asset to our cause. To everyone’s surprise she has done very good work. Carlos is waiting to see if the community accepts her before he makes a final decision…we shall see…

Shleigh handles all our TCG Sales and Shipping. She also sorts out collections for sale and trade.

Cyrus

Great Hound of the North and Master of All that He Sees

SEASON 1: Beginnings

Cyrus was born on an unholy union between a dog named ‘Dog’ owned by Max from Australia and a doberman possessed by a European name Hugo Drax. Cyrus roams the lands owned by the Empire and only allows those he deems worthy into the territories. Once an individual has been accepted into the land Cyrus no longer cares for that person’s wants or desires.

No one is really sure who ‘owns’ this magnificent beast. He appears to be a companion to Josh and has a special affinity for Diana. Carlos and Cyrus seem to work together to patrol and secure the borders of the IMMORTALS INC Empire… but then again, they may be just probing each other’s weaknesses to see who will fall first….

SEASON 2: The Coup

Cyrus, being a creature of instinct, joins in the fray…killing and destroying anyone or anything on either side of the coup attempt by Josh. Josh did use him against Carlos by having him handle Marten, but that loyalty did not last long. Carlos saw that Cyrus could be controlled with food. Using that knowledge Carlos brought The Great Hound unlimited steak and steak bones…far greater feast then the mere chicken nuggets offered by Josh.

SEASON 3: The Rise

The Hound is unhappy…a brother that he did not know of has arrived at the kennel. He plots…and he waits.

For now, Cyrus resides with the Estate of Carlos…as long as the food train keeps rolling anyway.

Kat Ikerd

Carlos looked out over his stronghold one day and had to ask…’Why is my wife dancing with that group of gypsys and how did they get in here?’ Before he could have them driven from the Empire Diana welcomed this troupe of performers into the castle and served them dinner…and they have yet to leave… At first dismayed, Carlos soon found that this colorful group of people entertained the people and even began to rely what everyone wanted back to him. Seeing the advantage of such a group Carlos has allowed them to stay…for now…

Chris Frace

Chris appeared in the Empire cold and hungry. Carlos saw him initially as a rough asset and Josh wanted him thrown from the Empire immediately. Diana took Chris in, fed and clothed him and then offered him work.

Diana had Marten teach Chris all that he could and soon proved to be a loyal subject of the Empire. When Josh had Marten dragged away by Cyrus, Diana had Chris step into Marten’s shoes and hold that part of the Empire together. Carlos is rough on Chris, but knows he is a staunch ally and good for the Kingdom.

Chris does keep an eye on Josh and Cyrus…he knows what that team has done to his predecessor….

Chris does all our TCGPlayer listing and shipping. He also specializes in taking in trades on card singles and collection. Chris has an extensive knowledge of Magic: The Gathering and CARDFIGHT! Vanguard.

Marten Dollinger

SEASON 1: Beginnings

Moving quickly and quietly, Marten has been brought in to let our Empire be discovered worldwide. Like an ambassador to the world he can bring news our greatness over large tracts of land and huge bodies of water.

Carlos approves and endorses Marten’s work. Is Marten a secretive agent that Carlos keeps within the Empire to monitor all of its aspects…or is he simply a mercenary that gains fame or fortune when this Empire does? Josh should pay close attention to this one….

SEASON 2: The Coup

Marten was too smart for Josh to allow him to continue to help Carlos. Fearing that Marten may give Carlos some much needed intelligence, Josh bribed The Hound Cyrus with chicken nuggets to handle Marten.

Marten was last seen being dragged away by a pack of wild dogs while Cyrusslowly circled them….

Taylor Hutchinson

SEASON 1: Beginnings

Brought into the Empire by Josh, Taylor can only be described as a jeweler. He can grade, catalog and place value on a large amount of cards and collections in a fraction of the time it took before. This has helped a great deal to fill the Empire’s coffers and has built our ability to reach more and more customers.

While Carlos is pleased with this fact, it has not gone unnoticed that he is very loyal to Josh…maybe a little too loyal. What plans do they have?

SEASON 2: The Coup

Taylor’s loyalty to Josh was too great a risk to Carlos. Carlos put a price on his head and Taylor was last seen fighting his way out of a burning pub as Carlos’ minions chased him into the Dark Forest.

Aereana Robles

SEASON 1: Beginnings

Daughter to Carlos, Aereana has a natural ability to find humor in what most people would consider traumatic situations. Gifted at birth with the magical ability known as ‘the sugars’, she has an uncanny ability to use any pointed weapon with skill of an expert. Recognizing this ability early, she was sent to the secret CAMP HO MIDA KODA to complete her ninja training, honing her supernatural abilities to become a lethal shadow in the night. While not often used by her father, she is usually sent in quickly and quietly to remove or ‘neutralize’ any threats to the Empire.

In the last few years Aereana has continued her advanced ‘training’ and hopes to return to the Empire a ruthless fighter and warrior princess.

SEASON 2: The Coup

Using a network of spies Aereana was able to see Josh’s attempted coup of her father and warn him before too much damage was done. Before Josh could extract his revenge and blame someone for the failed coup, Aereana fled the kingdom with a barbarian from the South so that they may build their own realm until she is powerful enough to return.

Brock Close

SEASON 1: Beginnings

Feeling the pressure from all sides Carlos has called back his ancient friend Brock from his diplomatic duties that carried him across many different lands and seas. Brock has returned and has assured the rest of the players in the Empire that he is here to help and befriend all that he can.

Josh, as always is leery of this ‘wanderers’ return and questions on why Carlos keeps his so close. Does Brock have leverage against Carlos? Josh’s spy networks are yet to reveal any useful information. For now, Josh must simply wait and stay alert….

SEASON 2: The Coup

Brock, being both wise and stealthy, saw the battle of Josh and Carlos coming and felt it would be better to watch from a distance and makes friends with whoever is left standing. Brock pulled from his pouch of many wonders a strange 3 legged big eyed animal with the power of flight. As he flew out of site Brock could be heard yelling, ‘Don’t touch my stuff…I shall return!’
